Are you wondering what a dry day is?  A dry day is a day on which liquor shops are supposed to be closed. Usually, these days are dry concerning religion or nation. So these days are mostly public holidays or festivals. According to alcohol laws in India, the excise government is meant to notify the list of prohibited days every year. Three types of dry days are followed throughout India. And anyone who crosses these guidelines is fined and punished.

National Dry Day: 

This is the day where alcohol is not served in pubs, restaurants, and not even the local liquor shops in all cities/ states of India. India has 3 national dry days, i.e., Republic Day, Independence Day, and Gandhi Jayanti. And it is good we all respect these days and not cross the line. Like dry days in Delhi are given below

 State Level Dry Days:

The sale and alcohol are prohibited at liquor stores, wine shops, pubs, bars, hotels, and restaurants on the day of the state elections. And this is decided upon states individually.
